Thanks proton45 for the compliment. Yes, let's talk about it on another opportunity again.

I hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here for a moment, but I have need of some help.

I've had this plaque that was given to me many years ago, and I've never found out what it says.

The characters appear to be Chinese, and the bottom character looks vaguely familiar. The characters are solid brass with a framed veneer. It is old, although I am not sure if it's exact age.

Is there anyone here who can tell me what this says?

What a great dignity the plaque has, GrauGeist!
It invites happiness, money, long life and joy to you and your family.

My mate could get this one.



He works for Dublin Corporation (City Council), it's nicknamed 'the Corpo'

If I ever was going to get a tattoo of these charaters, I'd run it by you first Shinpachi!

Wow! That is good!

I've thought about restoring the wood finish and having the characters re-polished. But now that I know what it says, I'll leave it alone, and let it continue to age gracefully

Thank You for the translation, Shinpachi!
 
Hi, muller!
The Chinese charactor is "Ming". Pronunciation is same in Japan and it means "People" .
If "corpo" is Portuguese, as the photo was taken in Portugal, my Google says it means " body".
Yes, please consult with me first in the future
